USING THE SPDIF or ADAT OPTION CARD 

The SPDIF and ADAT option cards add additional channels to the 

WavePRO interface.   

After adding the SPDIF option, for the Wave/824 you will have 10 

audio inputs and 10 outputs that can be used independently.  For the 

Wave/424 and Wave/496, you’ll have 6 audio inputs and 6 outputs.   

After adding the ADAT option, for the Wave/824 you will have 16 

audio inputs and 16 outputs that can be used independently.  For the 

Wave/424 and Wave/496, you’ll have 12 audio inputs and 12 outputs.   

Here's a step-by-step guide to using an Option Card. 

1. Connect the digital I/O jacks from the WavePRO interface to 

your audio equipment.   

If you are using the RCA jacks, make sure you have the proper 

cable.  For optimal results and to avoid drop-outs, you should  

not use standard audio cables to carry the SPDIF data.  We 

recommend using a a 75-ohm video cable  (these cables are 

available at most any electronics retailer). 

2.  Setup you application software to utilize the extra channels. 

For SPDIF, the extra channels are identified to your software 

application  as "Channel 9/10 SPDIF WavePRO” on the 

Wave/824 and as "Channel 5/6 SPDIF WavePRO" on the 

Wave/424 and Wave/496. 

For ADAT with the Wave/824 the channels are identified as: 

Channel 9/10 ADAT WavePRO 
Channel 11/12 ADAT WavePRO 
Channel 13/14 ADAT WavePRO 
Channel 15/16 ADAT WavePRO 

When using the ADAT option card with the Wave/424 and 

Wave/496, the ADAT channels are numbered starting at 

channel 5. 
The channels are accessed and opened by the application in 

the same fashion as all the other channels on the WavePRO 

interface.  Please refer to the WavePRO User Guide for specific 

application instructions. 

3. Set the audio sample rate in the application to match the rate 

that's supported by your audio equipment.  The SPDIF option
